The primary purpose of a vaccine is to prepare your pet's immune system to fight against diseases. A vaccination allows your pet's immune system to respond so it will be able to ward off future illnesses.

What Is The Relationship Between Vaccines and My Pet's Health?

Vaccinated pets are better protected from dangerous diseases that can be life-threatening. Pets should start a series of vaccinations early in life, then receive boosters throughout their lifetime to maintain the effectiveness.

What Are Core and Non-Core Vaccines?

Core vaccines are agreed upon by veterinarians to be essential as they protect against severe diseases that can affect pets and humans. Non-core vaccines depend primarily on your pet's lifestyle or pre-existing health conditions.

How Do I Know When My Pet Should Get Vaccinated?

Our veterinarian will establish the best vaccination schedule needed for your pet. There isn't a 'one size fits all' approach for your pet's vaccination schedule. Our team will establish a schedule that is appropriate for the type of breed and your pet's lifestyle.

Is There a Risk for My Pet with Receiving a Vaccine?

The stimulation of your pet's immune system occurs when it receives a vaccination. As a result, there may be a slight fever or redness where the injection was given. In rare instances, pets can experience additional symptoms, but they are overall a very safe part of preventative medicine.

Central Valley Veterinary Hospital Services

Core & Non-Core Vaccinations

At Central Valley Vet Hospital, we believe that vaccinations are an essential part of preventive healthcare for your beloved pets. Vaccinations not only protect your furry friends from potentially life-threatening diseases but also contribute to the overall well-being of the entire pet community.

Importance of Vaccinations

Vaccinations are crucial in preventing the spread of infectious diseases that can be harmful or even fatal to pets. By stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases, vaccines help your pet develop immunity against pathogens that may be encountered in their environment.

Benefits of Vaccinations

Disease Prevention

Vaccinations protect your pet from a range of contagious diseases, including distemper, parvovirus, rabies, leptospirosis, feline leukemia, and more. These diseases can cause severe illness and can be costly to treat. Vaccinations provide an effective means of preventing these diseases altogether.

Public Health

Some diseases that affect animals can also be transmitted to humans. By ensuring that your pet is properly vaccinated, you not only safeguard their health but also protect your family and the community from potential zoonotic diseases.

Longevity and Quality of Life

Vaccinations help extend the lifespan of your pet by shielding them from serious illnesses. Preventing diseases through vaccines allows your pet to live a healthier and happier life, free from the pain and suffering caused by preventable diseases.

Vaccination Guidelines

At Central Valley Vet Hospital, we follow vaccination guidelines based on the recommendations of veterinary authorities such as the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). These guidelines consider factors such as your pet's age, lifestyle, breed, and overall health to determine the appropriate vaccines and vaccination schedule.

Core Vaccines

Core vaccines are vaccinations recommended for all pets, as they protect against highly contagious and potentially life-threatening diseases. These vaccines include:

Canine Distemper

Protects against a viral disease that affects multiple body systems and is often fatal.

Canine Parvovirus

Prevents a highly contagious and severe gastrointestinal infection that can be life-threatening, especially in puppies.

Rabies

Vaccination against rabies is required by law in most regions, as it is a fatal disease that can be transmitted to humans.

Feline Panleukopenia

Vaccinates against a viral disease that affects cats and is highly contagious and often fatal.

Additional Vaccines

In addition to core vaccines, we may recommend certain non-core vaccines based on your pet's lifestyle and potential exposure risks. These vaccines may include:

Canine Bordetella (Kennel Cough)

Recommended for dogs that visit boarding facilities, dog parks, or interact with other dogs frequently.

Canine Leptospirosis

Protects against a bacterial infection that can be transmitted through contact with contaminated water or wildlife.

Feline Leukemia

Recommended for cats that spend time outdoors or live in multi-cat households.

Customized Vaccination Plans

We understand that each pet is unique, and their vaccination needs may vary. Our veterinarians will assess your pet's lifestyle and risk factors to develop a customized vaccination plan tailored to their specific requirements.

Vaccination Appointments

Our veterinary team is dedicated to making the vaccination process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During appointments, we'll administer vaccines and conduct thorough health examinations.

Central Valley Veterinary office was caring, professional, and genuinely concerned about my dog's well-being. The doctor removed some foxtails from his eyelid, kept him comfortable, and clearly explained the treatment. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They took the time to answer my questions, kept me informed throughout the visits, and made sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and cared for. Their kindness and professionalism truly stood out. Thanks to their excellent care, my dog recovered well. I highly recommend this veterinary office for their compassion, professionalism, dedicated staff, and commitment to providing outstanding care.

Yesterday evening we came here as an emergency when our almost 2 years old micro bully, Macho who was having an anxiety/panic attack on our way home. It was his 1st time and could have been his last if it wasn't for the amazing souls at Central Valley. All staff is professional, friendly and they saved our baby boy's life with responding in a timely manner. His panic attack turned into a heat stroke symptoms and his tongue was purple when they checked him. We love him so much and would've been completely devastated to lose him. He is back to his normal self less than 24 hours later. Highly recommend this place. We can't thank them enough for saving his life. Thank you!! God Bless You all and your Business.

They tried their absolute best to save my heart cat Zeke, unfortunately I had to let him go and they gave me a quiet and safe space to say my goodbyes as we helped him leave this world. They were so compassionate with his care and my emotional state of loss and grief. It took me a couple years to heal from the loss but I have brought my new cats in and know they will recieve the best treatment with knowledgeable and supportive staff. All of the doctors and vet techs here treat the customers' pets like their own. Very professional and affordable and work great with pet insurance to ease the claim process. My trio will be here and have the best care for the rest of their spoiled lives.

Was referred to this place in an emergency they where able to to treat the situation with urgency very professional, office staff are absolutely fantastic, even sat there in waiting room sharing there personal stories from experience with animals with me…. Gave me options for treatment whole 9 yards to get my dogs back to playing. Have been to many vets for my rescue animals and by far this place is worth the 40 min drive. Prices still better than most vets I've ever been to what would have been a 1200$ visit recently was only 800$ here. 100% recommend Central Valley vet for any vet needs or questions, hard to find honest people who take pride in there work.

Everyone is awesome. Alyssa Liz at the front desk. Sweet Nice and affectionate staff. Andy and Mani the technicians were So helpful. Dr. Christie is so kind. I live in Fremont, but drove all the way to Manteca and it was worth the drive because the same treatment that I was getting for $3000 in the bay area is only $1000 here. Highly recommend this place

Hello, my name is Joyce Inglemon and my German Shepard Santana are clients of Central Valley Vet Hospital. Ahmed and Drew saved the life of my best friend. I had previously spent $675.00 on my guy with absolutely no positive results, he went in with bad ear problems and a snout problem and left with the same problem. I brought it to the attention of the owner and he got the very best on my K9, which was Ahmed and Drew, nothing left to say but excellent diagnosis, results positive and me and Santana are very happy campers. Thank you so very much. PS please excuse me if I misspelled your names, you know who you are and I definitely do.

Smokey was there this past weekend for his annual follow up & and allergy shot. The staff was all so very nice. Both the vet assistant & the vet took their time during our visit. They made sure to answer all our questions and concerns regarding his allergies. Glad we switched over to them last year.
